Sorry i'm talking out of my arse. I can now execute test.pl which is just hello world.
It's the game code that i'm trying to execute and it's failing - I need to run /path/to/game/startup.pl on server start. I have a virtualhost system but i don't think this should cause a problem? I have a PerlRequire /path/to/startup.pl in httpd.conf and that should be all i need right? Henri
